I feel a lot of science has bogged it’s self down with theory and maybes for decades and decades now with no proof.
Absolutely. DAE remember the "theory of everything? Where did that go? String theory? Super symmetry? All bullshit without scientific evidence.
It's a similar thing with "artificial intelligence" which does not exist at all. It's just computer programs.
There's is no "science" under capitalism. It's a grift to build weapons for the enforcement of capitalism. That's why all research in USA is funded by DOD.
